George Mervosh Posted December 23, 2014 at 01:40 PM Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 at 01:40 PM What is the longest length of suspension in the volunteer Fire Department! Robert's Rules don't say. This needs to be governed by your fire department's own rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transpower Posted December 23, 2014 at 02:25 PM Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 at 02:25 PM Your organization should have a set of standing rules or administrative rules--these should govern situations like what you describe, Guest_John_.

jstackpo Posted December 23, 2014 at 03:52 PM Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 at 03:52 PM Some boilerplate on a closely related topic: In Good Standing:RONR/11 (Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised, 11th Edition) defines the term "member in good standing" on p. 6 in the footnote as referring to a member whose membership rights are not in suspension, either as a consequence of disciplinary proceedings (Chapter XX) or by operation of some specific provision in the bylaws of the organization.So if you use the phrase "in good standing" in the bylaws, be sure to define exactly what you mean: what causes a member not to be in good standing, what he has to do to get back into the good graces of the association, &c. Also, you should specify which membership rights, duties, privileges, &c. are lost or suspended (or retained) by a member as a consequence of his being in "bad standing" as distinct from his being in good standing or ceasing to be a member at all.

Rev Ed Posted December 24, 2014 at 12:34 AM Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 at 12:34 AM What is the longest length of suspension in the volunteer Fire Department! As long as the organization wants the suspension to be. RONR does not recommend any length, nor will provide you with an insight as to the length.
